We began our journey this morning by walking out Zion’s gate and to the Broad Wall which was discovered by Archaeologist, Avigad. Around 470 BC the Western hill became very densely populated. The Assyrians launched a 300 year event to take over the land. “TP” wiped up the city completely.

Those inhabiting Israel fled south to the closest town where they took a refugee status. Later, during Hezekiah’s rule, he strengthened the wall, built a water tunnel, re-organized taxes, and put a wall around the western hill to protect Western Jerusalem. The wall is very large and wide. It may appear that it was built in a hurry because the stones are uncut and they just placed the rock over existing houses. Is. 22:8-11, Neh. 3:8, 2 Kgs 14:13.
